Touring the Lekki Arts and Crafts  Market I finally got around organizing my first (group) tour  of the tour series called THE LAGOS WAKA  and on my tour list , the lekki arts and craft market was the first but i decided to add Nike Art Gallery ( I have been there thrice ) on this tour since it was on the same axis  as the art and Crafts Market.  The funny thing about this trip was that just like the normal African fashion, 5 people indicated interest in going on this tour and on the day of the tour trip only Royalbiba of     www.royalbiba.com    showed up while others came up with excuses. We started out late and our first stop was the market. The lekki Arts and Crafts  Market ( also known as the Jakande art market ) is an art haven that showcases the beauty of art in Lagos, Nigeria. The market is located at jakande bus-stop, off lekki-epe expressway ( 5th roundabout after lekki toll-gate, When coming from Victoria Is...

What better way to enjoy the weekend than to go to a cookout party with fellow bloggers, networking, cooking and having the best afternoon. The cookout was hosted by  pulse.ng  ,  samanthasbistro  and  gourmet burger bar  . We were about 15 bloggers invited to this cookout party and we had chef dumebi (founder and  chief chef of samanthas bistro) and chef James to take us through the process of making our own burgers. So I got to the venue of the cookout party   ( samanthas bistro ) late and I met everyone playing a game called the burger twister, it's a game played in pairs ( a pair of 2 people ) and the result of the game decides the ingredients you get to use in making your own burger ( yes we all were going to make our burgers ourselves) .  I got paired with chef James and it was just hilarious  ( I wish I have a picture to show that part). Fast forward to the cook out proper, chef dumebi put everyone of us through on h...

Valentine's day is long gone, and my post on Reasons to love Valentine without a boo or bae  has garned  a lot of  questions like "why are you single?"  "No boyfriend😮". So am going to rewind back to a conversation I had some few weeks back with my girlfriend Adaeze on this issue  and she started the convo saying I am beautiful, well educated, a manageable cook🤣 and how i come from a good family and she was wondering why I am always talking about my job, projects and how i want to be that successful chic ( am not even anti-social, am actually an extrovert, with a bubbly personality),  when am supposed to be froclicking with guys on social media and sliding into DM's of cute melanin dudes ( am a sucker for dark skinned guys😋);  the funny thing is we both  know i get a lot of attention from the opposite sex;  but i just havent found that special one, the YING to my YANG; i mean someone who will inspire me and encourage my ...

 Gabrielle Union's memoir We're going to need more wine  has so many outstanding features like honesty, activism and humour. The book is real and raw as it gives great insights into one of Hollywood's actresses. I have been in love with gabby   (my nickname for her) from the movies  Deliver us from Eva   and  bring it on, so when I saw the rave online I knew it was going to be an amazing book. The book opens up with a chapter  that introduces you to Nickie (Gabrielle Union's nickname gotten from her maiden name Monique), the smart little girl who grows up in a predominantly white community and school, confronted with internal  colorism,and tries hard to fit in. Every chapter reveals a secret struggle she has encountered that everyone must have faced at some point. The story is relatable and transparent as Gabrielle shared deep personal stories like her getting  raped at age 19,  her on-set experiences , beauty standards and c...

Happy valentine! It's a day meant for love and everywhere you go today you would see lover's trying to show love one way or the other , but what happens to those without "Boo" or "Bae" like me. How do we get to spend our valentine?  Most people have misconception about valentine being meant for lover's only. Valentine had always been a special treat for me but I am going through a phase (single and searching) right now and I don't have a date for valentine, so am going to spoil myself silly with gifts (self-love)  and also have a nice valentine weekend with friends at a beach house party ( talking about treats).  If you are thinking about self - pity medication as an option for valentine's day, here's an advice -  what's to love, if you can't love yourself ?   So pamper yourself, do something that makes you happy, put yourself first, go out with family and friends, get yourself a gift or better still curl up in bed...

One of the favourite  things I love apart from being a book - hungry reader is travelling,  I would love to travel and visit tourist places around the world , but as they always say   you wanna see the world, start from your backyard  .  So I  decided to start  first with my home  Country Nigeria and on a sunny  saturday I decided to see more of lagos city by  going  on  a group tour of lekki conservation center  with friends via   Tvp   adventures . The lekki Conservation Center  is Located after chevron Estate Gate,  just before the 6th roundabout (coming from V.I),  it's a bio-diversity conservation center that protects the wildlife and mangrove forests from the threat of urban development. We started the tour with our tour guide by walking through a wooden bridge that leads us to the nature trail which consists of the Swamp/Marshland and the Savannah grassland, animal...
